I would get at least a nine foot rod so that you can fish a variety of different places and lures. even if you do hook up with a fish you're going to have a lot of trouble landing it ,using a seven foot rod in the canal. i also agree with numbskull that the canal is not the best place to learn. try any of the southside beaches all the way up to chatham until early june. look for s structure(rocks, sandbars, jetties) or moving water. fish dawn or dusk. poppers and metal, pink and pearl bombers. also agree with what others have said. there are a lot of books on the subject as well as tons of info right here on the site using the search function.

ps. eels at night retrieved extremely slow take big fish...
